April 2012 At this time, we don't have any rescue dogs available for adoption. However, this doesn't mean there are no dogs to rescue! If you are looking for a dog, we can direct you to the Los Angeles rescue with which we work. Bichons and Buddies, http://www.bichonsandbuddies.com/ It is possible (and not difficult) to adopt a dog directly from there, so please contact them with inquiries. Feb 20, 2012 - the 3 dogs have finally arrived! We have 3 little pooches in our care. Herbie the Bichon, Luna the Terrier(Poodle) mix and Gigi the Toy Poodle (mix). You can visit our blog for more info, dog photos and updates. http://www.wix.com/bcpoodlerescue/bc-poodle-rescue/apps/blog Herbie is a sweet Bichon (perhaps Poodle mix as well). He’s about 6 yrs old and weighs about 20lb, but he’s quite tubby and is currently working on weight loss :-) Herbie is an extremely sweet, affectionate and gentle fellow. He is very submissive with other dogs and gets along with all of them, even when they try to boss him around! He would probably be fine in a home with cats as well, judging by his very mellow temperament. He is a clam guy, and is content to lounge for most of the day, but he adores going on walks and is pretty good on a leash. Herbie does have some separation anxiety and would do best in a home where someone is with him for the majority of the time. He would also be a great dog for being taken to the office, because he would just quietly sit or sleep for most of the time. We think Herbie would be a fine match for a family with children as well, because he is so docile and gentle and is just a total cuddle-bug. Herbie is neutered and fully vaccinated. His adoption fee is $300. Herbie has been ADOPTED Gigi is a Toy Poodle mixed with some other breed, perhaps a Shih Tzu or a terrier even. She's about 3 yrs old and weighs about 5lb, but she's a bit on the skinny side right now. We are still getting to know her personality, so stay tuned for updates. Gigi has been ADOPTEDGigi is a sweet and entertaining little dog with a great
personality. She loves walks in the sun (still not a fan of cold or wet
weather), following her people around the house, and most of all having a
nice lap to curl up in. She would do great with a dog-savvy female as
her primary owner, someone who can work with her on her fear issues in
some situations. A couple of examples: she is very interested in what is
going on around her during walks, but will shy away from bikers or
joggers going past her too quickly. She does well with a confident
leader who can encourage her in these situations. Gigi gets really
excited about playing with her mini tennis balls as long as she can run
after them gently rolling, but she is scared of the ball if it is coming
towards her.
Gigi's foster parents have been working on her trust issues, and
she has responded well to gradual socializing. She would still be best
as an only pet, as she does not get along with other dogs up close (she
is interested in seeing them go by on walks, but gets snappy if they
invade her space). She has done well being left in the house for a
couple of hours at a time.
Her modest requirements are a loving owner and a warm lap, and she will reward you with all of her devotion!
PS: Gigi has since gained some weight, and gotten a clean bill of health from our vet, so she is all set for her new home :-) You can see more pics of Gigi on our blog and a video of her here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDVXohYEOhA We are in the process of getting 3 more rescue dogs. They are set to arrive on Feb 19th, so please stay tuned for details. Also, you can visit our blog for more updates: http://www.wix.com/bcpoodlerescue/bc-poodle-rescue/apps/blog

So, if you don't see a dog of interest available from our rescue, it is possible to adopt directly from B & B. Just contact them! |
Gigi has been ADOPTED
Luna is a 1yr old Terrier mix (looks part poodle). She is one of the
sweetest dogs imaginable. She's curious and likes to explore, but is
also very submissive. She's great with other dogs and so far seems to be
good with cats (just avoids them). She's also very friendly with all
people. Just an all around great little dog.
